A Maine woman is facing charges for allegedly making threats that caused the closure of a Walmart in New Hampshire, authorities said.

Rochelle McDonald, 48, of Sanford, Maine, was charged with making a false report, a felony, after police received a call from an individual who claimed to have placed explosives inside the store located in Seabrook, N.H., according to a press release from the Seabrook Police Department.

The store was evacuated and closed on Sunday night following the threats.

McDonald was identified through an investigation conducted by the Seabrook Police Department, in conjunction with the New Hampshire State Police and other agencies, as the individual who made the call.
